Description:
Photographic materials cover a diverse range, everything from the
daguerreotypes and wet plate negatives of the 19th century to the
gelatin silver, chromogenic and inkjet prints of the 20th and now 21st
century. Care of Photographs offers a broad introduction to the history,
technology, identification, and care of these and other photographic
materials. Topics include environmental monitoring, the effects of
temperature and relative humidity, and the importance of cold storage
for certain photographic materials. It is intended to help those caring
for photographic materials to gain a better understanding of their
collections and how to care for them.
